I really could use some help

I installed a 3 inch Revtec lift on my 2002 sport 4runner. (Spacers)
It looked great for about a week, then the butt end drooped about 1-2 inches (probly not that bad, but looks stupid).
It still has stock shocks and coils front and rear, and the front looks fine with a steady 3 inch lift. The butt end is sad looking.
I am going to get myself springs and shocks for christmas this year, but I cant figure out what is the difference with a OME set up with the 891 springs, or the Landcruiser shocks?
WHat year LC shocks will fit on the 4Runner to get a 3 inch lift in the back?
What is the toyota PN#?
I dont want the droop anymore, even when I load up for camping so what are some medium/heavy springs to eliminate the sag?
And a good set of shocks for the rear? And will the stock trac bar be OK or do I need an adjustable?
Thanks alot for any help.

I believe the OME springs will be a little firmer and handle a load better than the land cruiser ones. You can buy different OME springs for the desired lift and firmness. The land cruiser coils will most likely give you more than 3" of lift and may be a little unpredictable with exactly how much lift you will get.
I used the coils from a 92 cruiser. Check the for sale section, I think I saw a set on there recently.

I used skyjacker shocks for the rear, but they did not fit like the originals in the bottom.

You should get the adjustable panhard/track bar.

Thanks! What part numbers for the LC coils?
Also, over the long term, which of the two options would hold the lift height the longest?
So the OME springs will be the better choice for hauling gear in the truck?

I am searching like mad, but not finding what I am looking for.
Like what year LC coils will fit and give the lift I am after. I have a hook up with a Toyota dealership, just need the numbers.
